 Cupid’s Advice:

 Deciding to let the world in on your relationship is all up to you.  Here are some tips on how to know when you’re ready:

1. You and your partner are comfortable: When you’re with your lover, you should feel at home.  Very few things should be uneasy, and you should be able to talk about anything and everything, including making your relationship public.

2. You don’t feel embarrassed: When you’re out to dinner with your sweetheart, you should feel proud to sit across from them at the table.  Holding hands is an exciting way to show the world that you’re a couple while you’re walking around the mall or taking a stroll by a river.

3. He is all you want to talk about: Constantly biting your tongue about your partner while chatting with your girlfriends is a tell tale sign that you’re ready to share the big news.
